When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

Shower tray repair in Inkford, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and movement when you stand on it.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What we’re called out for in Inkford

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Inkford

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your B47 postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
